In the midst of so much upheaval, there is a great theme of progress.

The events of the last several days in Minneapolis, Louisville, Atlanta and a growing number of cities across the country, all in the midst of a global pandemic, have once again laid bare the gross iniquities of our current systems. We have lost George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. They are not the first or the only ones. There is too much suffering and destruction. We must change.
